Were you thinking of something like:
class Stringy foo where
toString :: foo -> String
someop :: foo -> foo -> foo
...
and just use Stringy foo => foo instead of String everywhere?
Or just having a special type for fast string manipulation.
I would welcome either. However, there is a huge body of code that
assumes strings are lists of chars.
